P«R 6 March, 1965 Varsity “Bombs” All-Stars Intromural All Stars chal- lenged the Beloit Catholic High Varsity on Thursday evening, March 4 and were soundly beaten by the score of 85-62. At the outset, the All Stars jumped to a 4-0 lead. However, sharp-shooting Don Smiley, Larry Scott, and Mika Mowers closed the gap and then spurted to a 27-9 score at the end of the first quarter. Although the front line of the Varsity con- trolled the boards, they became too aggressive and were re- peatedly called for offensive violations. The second quarter saw the Varsity race to a 38-18 lead, scoring almost at will. With Tim Lowria and Pat Monahan swishing in some long bombs, the Stars rallied to cut the deficit to 47-29 at the half. The Varsity exploded at the start of the third quarter to bury the All Stars with a 12 point outburst. With the score at 59-29, Mika Mowors picked up his fifth personal. This lack of height in rebounding seemed to stun the Varsity, as it was then the Stars turn to retaliate. Fast-breaking, they outscored their opponents, 17-2. Nick Poloy had 11 consecutive points during this stanza. Thereafter, the Varsity righted themselves and matched every basket by the Stars by two. In the last quarter, with Don Smiloy driving the lane, cleared by Poto Piazza's picks, plus Scott's and Tom 0’Donohue's side shots, the Varsity pulled away to lead 80-50. Here, Smiley fouled out, and the Varsity was left with “four on the floor. Immediately the All Stars responded. Peter Van K am pen and David Luebke picked off missed shots and stuffed them back in, Luebke being especial- ly effective under the Stars' offensive boards, and the Varsity’s lead dwindled. With one minute left, however, it was 81-62 Varsity. Two long shots by O’Donahue and Scott, the latter’s at the buzzer, ended the game at 85-62. Larry Scott scored the nets for 30 points, to lead all scorers, while teammate Don Smiloy had 17. The Stars were led by Nick Paley and David Luobko with 15 and 12. Nick Paley MIKE MOWERS goes up for two more in the win over Turner High School.

Ideas at olp George BRosVevr J. B. GEORGE Freshmen dose With 17-3 Record It was tho ond to an almost perfect season. A win of 77-58 over Janesville St. Mary’s was the final crown. In that gaaae Coach Barnabo was able to use all 17 of his play- The boys from St. Mary’s made a valiant effort to over- come the lead set by the Crasader frosh, but it was too late. Three boys hit double figpres for the victors • Lee Scott, Jim Cousin, and Dick Johnson with 20, 15 and 10 points. In their Feb. 9 game at Orfordville the Crusader frosh got off to a slow start, but they recovered sufficiently by the second quarter to walk off with a 46-37 win. Perhaps it was that short two-minute talk by Coach Barnabo between quarters that did it. High scoring honors for the winners went to Lee Scott, Tim Ghor- rity and Kemil Basmagy with 16. 9, and 8 points respectively. On Feb. 6 the Crusader frosh lost their third game of the season, this time by a margin of 64-31. The boys from Beloit were outscored in every garter, but their good sports- manship went to work and they took the loss in stride. High scorer in the game was J. Phillips with 21 points. Against Brodhoad on Feb. 1 it was again the Crusader frosh on top 47-30. High scor- ers in the game were Loo Scott and Dick Johnson with 16 and 11 points. And likewise against Janesville on Jan. 28, it was the BCH frosh on top 63-34. In the words of Coach Bar- nabo at the beginning of the season, “It’s going to be a lot of hard work, but I know yon guys can do it. And that’s just what they did, winning 17 out of 3 of their games and taking third place in the Guilford-Boy lan tourna- ment. High scoring honors for the season went to Jim Cousin, who damped in 186 points. The other five top scorers were Lae Scott with 177 points, Dick Johnson with 169 points, Komil Basmagy with 132 Tim Gharrity with 113 points, and Jim Zaher with 77 points. Peter St. Peter

Page 5 March, 1965 STUDENTS OF ST. MARY'S SPRINGS ACADEMY, Fond du Lac, discussed the necessity of an apostolic attitude in their every- day school life, at the first Catholic Youth Conference of Beloit CYC Conference Held March 14 A Youth Conference was held on Sunday afternoon, March 14, at Beloit Catholic High School. All Catholic youth of Beloit were invited. The most significant purpose of the conference was to bring together all Catholic students of Beloit in a common spiritual effort to promote better Christian spirit in the community. The program, sponsored by MCA units of Beloit parishes, the BCHS Sodality, and the BCHS Young Christian Stu- dents (YCS), began with Holy Mass in English at 12 o'clock, fol lowed by lunch in the cafeteria at 1 o'clock, and a general meeting in the gym at 1:30. Father James Doheny from St. Francis Seminary, Mil- waukee, spoke to the students. The Apostolic Youth Group from St. Mary's Springs Aca- demy, Fond du Lac, gave a demonstration of the way an apostolic is to be conducted to acquaint students with its procedures. It is hoped that the con- ference can be held four times annually. Discussions will vary, topics will pertain to the time of the year, and goals for students will be set. There will be four main conferences tied together by the monthly holy hour, and including Student Mass, Benediction, and brief discussions. JAMES KRUSSEL, junior at Beloit Memorial High School, was the student chairman of the Catholic Youth Conference, held Sunday, March 14. Here and There Congratulations to Eliza- beth Chamon, our editor, who was hailed as Girl of the Month” for February, by the Beloit Professional and Bus- iness Women's Club. Have you recently noticed the stuffed dog in the glass case by the drinking fountain? It's there to remind you to sharpen your pencils and your ideas for designing our new Sports Cover. Congratulations to Martha Takacs on the publication of on excerpt from her February editorial in the Chicago Tri- bune and a reprint of it in the Beloit Daily News. Have you ever noticed the drinking fountains? How nice and full they are of Wrigley's gum? A great big cheer to those who constantly replenish them! It’s the way to let dlhers know that rules were made for every- one but you. 2 Comprende el Espahol, Vd.? MR. MAUEL listens while two of his second year students recite in his Spanish class. Students are Pete Obligato and Shirley Kulawinski. Spanish Department m — Larger than Ever” This year there are more Spanish students than ever before in the history of the school. Mr. Mauel has two first year classes with 63 students, and a second year class with 33 students. There are plans for a third year class next year. At pre- sent Linda Osborn is the only third year student. She takes a correspondence course from the University of Wis- consin. Mr. Mauel is taking a dif- ferent approach this year. To help the students learn dia- logue, he has many poster pictures. He thinks that they help students understand what they are saying and make their speech more automatic. The Spanish classes have both oral and written tests. Oral students are given and corrected by a second year student. Mr. Mauel tapes questions and has the ad- ministrating student show pictures. This helps the per- son taking the test. For diversion and for help with the language, the class sings songs and listens to taped conversations. Kathy Murphy

March, 1965 Van Kampen Team Intramural Champs Page 7 Sports Slants I seasonal basketball champion- ’s team with Jim Perkin’s team The Intramural tournamoat ship went to Peter Von Komi runner-up. The biggest upset of the tournament came on Sunday, Feb. 14, as KopitanoH defeated LvuMte 45-37 in a hard fought con- test. The big difference was the control of the offensive and defensive boards by Kapitanoff, plus the 19 and 18 points thrown in by T. Tibbits and A. KopitanoH. The next game saw Van Kampon shade Paley 53-52 on a jump shot by T. PfoH with 8 seconds left. N. Paley hit for 25 in the losing cause, while PfoH was high with 17 for the victors. The first game saw Pevfcins throwing up a stingy defense to limit Carney to long shots from the outside. The winners pulled away after the half and were never challenged. Perkin» scored 23 points. There was no defense when Van Kampen demolished Kap- itonoH. Scoring at a rapid dip. Von Kompen built up a com- manding 21-3 lead at the first stop, and applying pressure constantly, eased into the finals. L. Goodrich hit 27 in the win. Thursday night’s championship game was even for the first quarter. Then Van Kampen ran Perkin» off the court, personally escorting them by scoring 7 ooosecutive points. The turning point came when both teams were awarded the bonus situation. Here Von Kampen'» team repeatedly converted while Perkin could not. After J. Bergesoa fouled out for Perkins' team in the second quarter, Von Kampen had control of both boards and also the game, ending with a score of 55-36. ions was as follows: Balanced scoring by the P. Van Kampen F. Linde L. Goodrich T. Pfaff 20 pts. 15 pts. 13 pts. 9 pts. This overshadowed Jim Perkin ’ 21 point performance The Final Season Standings: Luebke Van Kampen Perkins Kapitanoff Paley Kobus Carney Nevicosi Conway The five highest scorers ore: 1. N. Paley 18.1 2. J. Perkins 17.1 3. D. Luebke 17.0 4. T. Pulaski 15.1 5. D. Marino 14.3 Nick Paley BCHS took a long trip for nought by ending the cage season against St. Joseph of Kenosha in tourney play. After dropping our Saders 62-53 St. Joseph herself was eliminated by Racine St. Catherine. Setting a typically slow pace, BCHS failed to take advantage of golden oppor- tunities. Passing up good shots, missing picks, drives, and fouling early hurt the Saders. Despite these in- consistencies BCH managed to procure a 13 point lead midway through the second quarter - a lead which was promptly washed out by nine straight turnovers. The second half showed St Joseph taking advantage of poor defense and with a “touch of luck’’ on some fantastic shots they increased their lead to 10 at the final buzzer. Larry Scott had one of his most lucrative nights canning more than 20 points. He was backed by John Winger’s 15 from the outside. The 1964-65 basketball season was one of the poorest vm g mm THE FIRST PLACE INTRAMURAL TEAM of BCHS is headed by Peter Van Kampen (F, 1). The team includes, Frank Linde, Larry Goodrich, Tom Pfaff, (bottom row) Jack Hamill, Angelo Anastasi, Pat McKeam and Mike Greene. in years for Catholic High. Finishing conference play third from the bottom with a record of 4-10 and defeating only Turner and South Beloit, Beloit Catholic rated only one honorable mention in the All-Conference standings - one that went to senior guard Don Smiley. Nonconference play only added to Sader High miseries by contributing 5 more losses, 2 to arch foe Edgewood, and one each to Clinton, Honon egah (Durand Christmas Tourney) and St. Joseph’s. Dispite all the gloom shrouding the “late” hardwood season, a few bright spots managed to break through. Seniors Mike Mowers and Don Smiley ranked among the hig£i scorers for the SHARK Con- ference. Don Smiley rated All- Conference honorable mention and John Winger showed Coach Melvin what to look for next year with his deadly outside shooting. Many will be the memories of our games, for even in losing much is learned, both by players and spectators and many exciting moments are shared. Congratulations go to Mike Mowers, who was elected most valuable player and to Don Smiley and -Lorry Scott, who were chosen co-captains of the Catholic High Basketball team. The ARISTA sports staff sincerely urges the student body to get out and back our spring sports teams. With track, baseball, tennis, and golf there should be something to interest any sports minded student. Peter Piazza
